  James K. Vardaman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Kimble Vardaman (July 26, 1861 - June 25, 1930) was an American politician from the U.S. state of Mississippi.
Vardaman was born near Edna, Jackson County, Texas and moved to Mississippi in 1868 with his parents to Yalobusha County, Mississippi, and eventually studied law and became editor of a newspaper, the Greenwood Commonwealth (still in publication today).
After two failed attempts in 1895 and 1899, Vardaman won the governorship in 1903 and served one 4-year term (1904-1908), advocating a policy of extreme racism against African-Americans, even to the point of supporting lynching in order to maintain Vardaman's vision of white supremacy.
